Fourth-Generation iPod Shuffle Unboxing and Comparison Photos


iLounge has received a new fourth-generation iPod shuffle and posted a photo gallery documenting the unboxing as well as showing a comparison to the similar second-generation iPod shuffle and other iPod models.


After moving navigation buttons to the headphone cord in the third-generation model, Apple has gone back to its earlier button design, although it has still been able to significantly reduce the size of the device compared to the second-generation version. Like the second-generation version, the new iPod shuffle also offers a clip on the back to provide customers with significant flexibility in attaching the device to their clothing while in use.

The new iPod shuffle offers 2 GB of storage for $49 and is available in five colors.

Glad it's back to the old form.....just wish there were 4GB ($69?) and 8GB ($99?) versions. I don't have a need for a screen like on the nano.

That adapter is horrible, wonder why they ditched the dock they bundled with the 2G Shuffles? I hope the 4G can use the 2G dock.

I actually prefer the 3rd gen without buttons. Had no problem with my in hear-buds.

I'm just happy to see the buttons back. The previous gen was a mistake, and I'm glad Steve had the balls to admit it. I recently saw a poll on the worst iPod ever somewhere in these forums, and the button-less shuffle had the most votes, by far.

I still have the original white one and use it daily. Works perfectly. It's been dropped, flopped and plopped everywhere and still runs without and hitch and the battery seems endless. The size is perfect too. Not crazy about these new uber tiny models.
